I’m a changed woman.
I had my first smear of Kerrygold Irish butter. All butters are not created equal. Amen.
Remember how Mr. Dessert For Two boldly declared he likes fruit desserts now? These buttery peach pie bars are the thing that tipped the scales. He took one bite of the soft, cinnamon-flecked crust and whiskey peach jammy filling, and moaned. From my experiments, I've deduced that the moans signify that his love for fruit desserts is equal to his love for chocolate desserts. That’s the power of pie, my friends.
I used almost an entire stick of Kerrygold butter in this pie bars. While I made the dough, I let 3 peaches soak in way too much whiskey. I pressed ¾ of the dough into the pan, poured my drunken peaches over top, and then crumbled on the remaining dough. Forty minutes later, the peaches melt into a jam-like consistency. They're nothing short of spectacular.
Use the good whiskey for these bars; you won't regret it. I used rye whiskey.
You will love these yummy peach pie bars!

Girl.
There's no way I could keep myself from eating an entire pan by myself. And then we'd have a drunken heather on our hands...
lynn @ the actor's diet says
you've had me really curious about kerry butter since!!!
Christina says
It's sooo worth it, Lynn. So creamy. After tasting it, I can tell other butters have more water than fat.
Sally @ Spontaneous Hausfrau says
That Kerrygold stuff is like crack. It's like butter on top of butter with more butter. I shudder to think what it tastes like when browned. I know these bars have got to be absolutely amazing!
